Grapefruit Pineapple Margarita

Hello friends. Summer is finally here and that means delicious outdoor cocktails. I’m happy to be joining my friends to share some yummy drinks for your summer entertainment.
Before I start, I want to thank my friend Krista for hosting this fun blog hop.
Today I’m sharing a grapefruit pineapple margarita that will probably be a regular for me this summer. It’s so refreshing and of course you can make it with or without alcohol.

It also looks so pretty doesn’t it?
You’re also getting a little sneak peek at our new backyard makeover. It’s finally done and I could not be happier…:)
I got this pretty tray at Homesense, or Homegoods and I love it. Such an easy way to add a little color to your space. A tray, a couple of palm leaves and some fruit…done and done.
The patio set is called Tofino from Canadian Tire and I can’t wait to share with you the rest.

But let’s get to the yummy topic at hand…

Strain into the prepared glasses and add a tablespoon of chipped ice in each (optional).

You can also place the juices in the freezer for a couple of hours and blend in blender for more of a slushy drink. 🙂
